CAMERON, Mo. (AP) – The Missouri State Highway Patrol says one person died and two others were injured after a high-speed gun battle involving a patrol trooper.
Patrol Sgt. Jake Angle says troopers responded Friday morning to reports someone driving on Interstate 35 was shooting from a car and had hit two motorists in separate vehicles. The shooting occurred near Cameron, about 35 miles east of St. Joseph.
Angle says the suspect fired at a pursuing patrol car and a trooper returned fire.
The male suspect was found dead after he rolled his vehicle.
Angle said it wasn’t immediately clear if the man died from gunfire or the
crash.
The two motorists who were shot were taken to hospitals and are expected to survive.
